Joel noticed the unusual expression on Fabian’s face and quickly walked over. “Mr. Evans, is everything alright?”

“Nothing,” Fabian replied, stepping forward and heading toward the car.

Seeing this, Joel hurriedly took a few steps forward and opened the car door. After Fabian settled into the seat, he shut the door and quickly jogged to the driver’s seat.

The atmosphere inside the car felt tense. Joel could sense the heavy mood around Fabian, and for a moment, he didn’t dare speak.

It wasn’t until they went further that Fabian finally spoke up, “I want to know everything about the girl who wore the mask last time. The more detailed, the better.”

Joel reacted quickly. He understood that Fabian was referring to the girl who had performed alongside Holden at the Star Venue.

He thought, ‘Didn’t he say that there was no need to investigate her? Why the sudden change of mind?‘

However, he didn’t dare hesitate. “Understood, Mr. Evans,” he said. Whatever task Fabian gave him, there was always a reason behind it. As his subordinate, his job was to follow orders and execute them.

Fabian kept his gaze fixed on the window, wondering, ‘If Elysia was connected to the child who had passed away all those years ago, and if she truly was a member of the Evans family–my sister...‘ He couldn’t bear to think any further.

He thought that if everything turned out to be as he suspected, then Elysia must have endured far more than she should. He wondered, ‘What kind of life has she lived? How has she been treated? What if her life has been miserable?‘

These questions echoed in his mind, impossible to shake off. There were too many things he didn’t understand. Maybe he would have answers once the truth finally came to light.

The next morning, a major news story spread over Milton School. Gossip about the Davis family spread like wildfire, and once Robert’s fans heard the news, their spirits took a dive.

After all, such a huge upheaval had hit Robert’s family, and he was still just a teenager, barely nineteen. It was hard for him to handle all of this. Even though he was talented, it wasn’t going to be easy for him to overcome it.

Therefore, the worried fans of Robert quickly started cheering him on, trying to lift his spirits and show their support.

As Robert watched those girls come to offer him their sympathy, his anger flared. He didn’t need anyone’s pity, and he certainly didn’t want their condescending words. To him, their encouragement only felt like mockery and insult. He didn’t want it.

After sending a few groups of girls away, no one dared approach him again. After all, they didn’t want to humiliate themselves.

When Emma heard the news, she quickly rushed to Class 1. She stopped a student at the door and spoke in a hurried tone, “Excuse me, I’m looking for Robert.”

The girl nodded. “Wait here, I’ll go get him.”

At first, when she heard someone was there to see Robert, the girl had considered turning her away. After all, plenty of girls had already tried this, and just a moment ago, another one had been sent off.

She felt sad for those girls, and she was about to suggest Emma save her time and not bother, but when she looked at her closely, she recognized her. It was Emma from Class 2.

There were rumors that Emma and Robert had grown up together. Therefore, the girl thought she was likely to offer him some comfort. With their history, there was no way Robert would turn her away. The girl nodded. She also hoped Robert would open up.

When the girl entered the classroom, she walked straight to Robert’s seat. Before she could say anything, Robert said, “If you’re here to lecture me, don’t bother. If someone’s looking for me, tell her to leave.

His reply was firm. After so many people came to talk to him, it was clear he had developed a certain level of emotional guard.

“Are you sure? It’s Emma from Class 2 who is waiting for you,” said she.

Hearing that, Robert looked up, making sure he hadn’t misheard. Only then did he stand up and walk toward the door. The girl watched his back, her eyes softening. It was obvious that only Emma held a special place in his heart.

When Robert reached the door and saw Emma, he forced a smile, his voice softer than usual. “What are you doing here?”

“I heard you sent away a bunch of people who came to comfort you.” Emma said with concern in her tone, “I couldn’t stop thinking about you, so I came to check on you. Are you okay, Robert?”

Robert’s eyes darkened. He thought, ‘Comfort? It’s nothing more than pity. The one thing I don’t need is other people’s sympathy!‘

“Robert, did I say something wrong to upset you?” Emma asked softly.

Realizing his emotions were affecting her, Robert quickly suppressed his cold demeanor. Just as he was about to speak, a cheerful laugh rang out from nearby. “Here you are, Emma.”

Both of them turned to see a group of people walking toward them, led by Thorne. Robert’s brows immediately furrowed. If he hadn’t misheard, Thorne just called Emma in a very intimate way.

He thought, ‘What is their relationship?‘ Robert’s gaze landed on Emma, silently asking for an explanation.

Feeling the weight of Robert’s scrutiny, Emma grew anxious. “No, Robert, you have to listen to me.”

Thorne said, “What’s there to explain, Emma?”

Thorne interrupted as he reached them. His eyes fixed on Emma, the girl he had been thinking about nonstop. He suddenly thought that a day was too short. If he had known, he would have asked for a few more days.

“What do you want?” Robert stepped in front of Emma, his eyes cold and menacing as he glared at Thorne.

“Hey! Who the hell are you? I’m talking to Emma. It has nothing to do with you,” said Thorne.

Thorne’s tone was aggressive, but he quickly softened it when one of his goons whispered something into his ear. After listening, Thorne burst into laughter. “Robert? I’ve heard a lot about you at school. I didn’t expect to meet you in person.

“However, you’re already pissing me off.” Thorne’s voice turned harsh, but he put on a nonchalant expression. “Is this because your dad died and you’re just looking for someone to take it out on?”

Robert’s anger surged. He lunged forward and grabbed Thorne by the collar.

Thorne’s goons moved to intervene, but Thorne raised his hand to stop them. “If you think you can lay a finger on me, just try it.

I’ll beat you into the ground.”

Hearing his arrogant tone, Robert couldn’t take it anymore. He raised his fist and was ready to strike when a female voice 2/3 Romance...
